Men develop muscle mass faster than women (it's true although I'm not sure if all fields of the army need brute strength). It takes less time and effort and money to train women. Logically, those who would go out on the field quickest would be draft first. Most military people wear heavy packs and armor that can weigh well over twenty pounds (I roughly remember this number - someone can check). Aside from that, women naturally and generally have a smaller build than men. I know women can be just as strong, if not stronger than men but using general statistics, if a country really needs soldiers on the front, it would take the easiest trained individuals. And then it's generally accepted that women are smarter than men (hooyah!) so they are assigned jobs that require thinking. Like honestly, I'm all for equal rights because well... I can be just as important and valuable as any dude. However... I'm not going fight for my right to be placed into combat...
